My website is exactly as I want it to be: (Dec. 31, 2005)

1. Simple to develop manually: a simple text editor always works and unconditionally portable.
2. Easy to watch: no heavy stuff - fast download on slow connections (fireworks are not welcome).
3. Easy to watch: everything is portable - can be watched using any browser.
4. No frames: you always know the URL of the page you watch, and you can correctly link/save/print anything you want. "Back" button works.
5. Safe to watch: neither cookies, nor Java Scripts nor any technique that may exploit the viewer's computer.
6. No hypes: if you are not impressed by the contents of the page, I will not try to impress you using any gimmick.
